2 Tbsp. celery, minced
1 Tbsp. onion, minced

1. Pat the salmon dry using a paper towel. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the avocado oil, then quickly add the salmon, flesh side-down. Cook uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the salmon. Cook for three more minutes on the other side.
